The
Wiggles bring their "Taking Off!" world tour to the University at
Buffalo Center for the Arts at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24.
Tickets go on sale May
31 at noon
and are available at the box office, online at www.Tickets.com,
or by phone at 888-223-6000.

After 21 years of entertaining
children around the globe, The Wiggles will introduce three new cast
members, including the first-ever female member, Emma Watkins as the
Yellow Wiggle. Founding member Anthony Field, known as the Blue
Wiggle, rounds out this vibrant group with Simon Pryce (Red Wiggle)
and Lachlan Gillespie (Purple Wiggle). The "Taking Off!"
worldwide tour will crisscross North America, hitting more than 35
major cities between August and October in support of a new album of
the same name.

Always educational and
entertaining, The Wiggles will be joined onstage by Dorothy the
Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus
for an extra wiggly good time. This marks the first time that North
American audiences will get to meet the new lineup and hear new
music, as well as sing along to their favorite hits, which are all
incorporated into The Wiggles' live show. "Taking
Off!" features 21 new
feet-stomping songs, including the catchy soon-to-be favorite, "Do
The Propeller!" as well as "Beep! Beep! Buckle Up!" "Emma
(with the Bow in Her Hair)" and classics such as "Rock-A-Bye
Your Bear" and "Get Ready to Wiggle."

The
"Taking
Off!"
DVD is slated for release later this summer, and a new television
series will debut on Sprout in the fall. For a complete list of tour
